Next season Maxi will earn less than MLE money. No reason to blame him because the Mavs are relying on him to play starter minutes and rushed his return to save the season. He is injury-prone. But when he is healthy and rested he is among the most versatile defenders in the legue. A valuable asset. Especially in the playoffs.
Mavs have a problem because he is the number one big in the rotation. Closing most games. But that´s not on Maxi. He is paid like the third big on most teams.
To a lesser degree the same can be said about Powell. I certainly hope that he won´t get more than the minimum but it´s not his fault that the Mavs are beyond bad when it comes to drafting/signing/trading bigs.
Going to be the main task of the offseason. The never ending search for a reliable starting center.
